The company was put on the docket for not
watering its tracks between Anderson
street and Battery Park. Capt. J II. John
son represented the railroad, and made the
argument that the ordinance requiring the
company to water its tracks does not apply
to any point beyond Anderson street The
facilities for getting water are such that it
IS only with great difficulty that the com
pany could water its tracks on the Ogeechee
road, and it would be next to an impossi-
bility to do so if it was required. The case
was continued.

barna Extensions.
The Central railroad is rapidly pushing its
Alabama extensions President Alexander
has filed a declaration with the Alabama
Secretary Of State for the purpose of
organizing the South Alabama Railway
Company to build from Columbia to Mobile.
This will be a continuation of the road from
Blakely, Ga, to Columbia, and will traverse
one of the best timber and agricultural sec
tons of Alabama, making direct line from
Mobile to Savannah.
The Blakely extension to Columbia, dis
lance of twelve miles, was decided upon
some time ago, and preparations are now
being made to commence work. The road
will be completed early in the fall. Column
bia, with its splendid river transportation
facilities, which have given it a population
of ] 200 inhabitants, will in the near future
be one of the most important and prosper
Gus towns on the Chattahoochee. It's
cotton receipts last year were 10, 200 bales,
and the outlook is for much larger receipts
this season. The people are alive ON the
subject of the Centrals extension to that
point, and the continuation on to Mobile
will give that section of Alabama a boom
that will be likely to result in the building
of large trade for the outlet ports,

BARNARD'S NEW COMET.
To be Visible for the Next Six or Eight
Months.

The comet discovered on May 10 is in
creasing in brightness. Prof. Lewis Boss,
director of the Dudley Observatory, at
Albany, N. Y, has computed its orbit,
using the position obtained at Nashville
with two others obtained at Dudley OBJ
servatory. From this orbit it is seen that
the comet viii not be large one, as it does
not approach nearer the sun than lis, 900,
0O0 miles, the nearest approach being on
June "a.
The inclination of the path of the new
comet TO that of the earth is only II, and
its motion is direct: These probably indi-
cate that the orbit will prove elliptical but
it will require several months observation
yet to be anyways certain of the true form
of its orbit
The northerly motion Of the comet is CON
tinualy bringing it into better position for
observation in the northern hemisphere.
and it will doubtless be observed for the
next six or eight months
1t is not at all improbable that this is a
new periodic comet. II so the period will
fall between six and twelve years, as there
is a group of several comets lowering about
this perihelion distance and inclination

Lunatics for Milledgeville.

A commission of lunacy met at the jail
yesterday and inquired into the cases of
John T. Walsh, Lavinia Shellman and Mar
tina Duncan. Walsh is white man about
"a years old and has been crazy for some
time. He was declared insane by the COM
mission. Lavinia Shellman was also de-
clared fit subject for the asylum. Her
mania is suicide and a tendency to smash
things generally. Martha Duncan was de
clared sane and was discharged. The evil
dence went to show that Martha and her
husband are frequently at variance and that
her Imprisonment was more the result of his
fault than insanity ON her part. The two
lunatics will be taken to Milledceville as
soon as suitable preparations can be made,

The Augusta and Chattanooga.

The contract for the building of the Au-
gusta and Chattanooga railroad has been
given out to New York syndicate, Messrs
Blair, Boynton & Co., for sS,500,OO0 in
bonds and $6,0O0C00 in common stock.
There has been considerable talk about the
contract in Augusta, as the Georgia Con
struction Company, of Augusta, was anx-
1ouS TO get the contract, and really expected
it. This company was organized some weeks
ago with a capital of s100,000, with the
privilege of increasing it to S1,000,000, The
officers are President, r. P. Sibley: Direc-
tors, w. G.. Sibley, W. w. Bussey, A. H.
Baker Asbury Hull, j. p Bondurant, 2.
Daniel, W. II. Cozart and Jesse Thompson.
Mr. R. P. Sibley says the construc-
ton company was anxious to build the
road, and was in condition to do so. 1t has
been generally understood there for long
time that they were to do so, and he was
very much surprised to learn that the Execu-
tive Committee had given the contract to
Northerners. Mr.. Sibley is a director of the
road, and in company with most of the
other directors, knew NOTHING of the action
of the Executive Committee until recently.
He said that he and other directors of the
road were surprised to hear report from
the Executive Committee, composed of
President c.. A. Evans, Mr.. Alfred Baker
and Mr.. j. p Verdery, that contract had
already been made as long ago as April 2,
with Blair, Boynton & Co., to build and
equip the road for $4,50O,OOO in bonds and
"a COX, 600 in common stock, without refer
ring the contract to the board for confirma-
ton.
Mr.. Sibley has protested against confirm
ing the contract made by the Executive
Committee without comforting with the rest
of the board or giving the details. The Elk
ecutiVa Committee claimed tho RIGHT tO
make the contract under a resolution which
is on the minutes of the annual meeting of
the company. Mr.. Sibley has advised Blair
g. Boynton that the contract with them
has not been ratified, and steps will be taken
to defeat it,

BAD FOR THE LAW FIRMS.
Curious Results Follow the Attorneys
who Defended the Anarchists.

From the Chicago Mail.
The Anarchist trials have had singular
influence upon the attorneys who have taken
part in the defense. Senior Counsel w. P.
Black and Junior Counsellor Solomon and
Sigmond Zeisler have, because of their rela-
ton to this famous case, had their old time
law partnerships turned upside down. Law
yer Black was for years junior partner in
the very old and conservative law firm of
Dent d Black. Dent has been substantial,
hard working, and responsible adviser, who
commended himself to banks, railroads, and
other rich clients. Black, the junior part
ner, was bright young man, quick and ami
able before jury, and an excellent supple
ment to the talent of the elder man. No
firm in the city stood higher than Dent 81
Black among that very class against which
it used to be the pleasure Spies, Parsons, and
their fellow reds to most vehemently declaim.
1t was one of the most homogeneous things
that ever happened in the legal profession
when the defense of the Anarchists was I'M
dertaken by Black. Nothing could have
been more so unless the case had been taken
up by Dent, or else, perhaps, by Cloudy, or
by the general counsel of some one of the
other big railroads. The result of SO queer a
move was foregone. Professions of dyna-
miters, socialists, and deciples of Henry
George, could not file into the same office
with bank presidents, railroad officers and
capitalists. The two classes could not COM
fortably kick their heels in the same ante
ROOM nor get their law from the same au-
thority. The old-time firm of Dent 81
Black was doomed, and. after the junior
partner undertook the Anarchists defense,
nobody was surprised to learn of its dissolu
ton
The other counsel in the famous defense
have had their partnerships severed, too, but
for not quite the same reasons. Solomon &
Zeisler, before the Haymarket bomb was
thrown, had the regulations of being pains
taking law firm with good practice from
small Hebrew trades people. 1t had also
clientage among the trades unions, especi-
ally among the foreign unionists, such as the
furniture workers, beer brewers, and others.
Zeisler is decided type of Hebraic-German,
with curling, reddish beard, and very red
lips He is a scholarly man, who is said to
have taken the highest honors is one of the
most famous of the German universities.
Solomon is an indefatigable Hebrew with
out Zeisler's culture, but with an industry
that has amazed his opponents in this case.
These two young men fell out over their
rank in the case. The quarrel before the
Supreme Court is largely remembered.
Both could not make addresses. Solomon,
it was feared, would do more harm than
good. The result was that another law firm
went to pieces in the Anarchists case. Zeis-
Ter joined prosperous law firm which has
good commercial practice. Solomon is
alone.

DRUMMERS PLAY BALL.
Congress Street Defeats Broughton
Street IA to 5.

Street I 4 to 5.
The drummers' game did not draw much
of a crowd yesterday, but there was any
amount of fun in it. The Congress street
team defeated the Broughton streets by a
score of IA to ). Emslie and Pike, of the
Savannah league team, were the battery for
Congress street, and Nichols and Dallas for
Broughton street. A full score was not
kept-only the runs and outs-so that it was
impossible to tell which side made the more
errors. The professional batteries kept the
batting down and the outfielders had
very little to do. The Congress street men
clearly outplayed their opponents, and won
the game on its merits.
The Base Ball Association Melted about
S75 from the game, This afternoon the
Amateurs, equipped with a league battery,
will play the Savannah league team.
